| Abstract |
|
For the integration of data that resides in autonomous
data sources Software AG uses ontologies. Data
source ontologies describe the data sources
themselves. Business ontologies provide an integrated
view of the data. F-Logic rules are used to describe
mappings between data objects in data source or
business ontologies. Furthermore, F-Logic is used as
the query language. F-Logic rules are perfectly suited
to describe the mappings between objects and their
properties. Some of these mapping rules can be
generated automatically from the data sources meta
data. Some patterns do frequently reoccur in userdefined
mapping rules, for instance rules which
establish inverse object relations or rules which create
new object relations based on the objects’ property
values.
Within our first project access to information is still
typical data retrieval and not so much knowledge
inference. Therefore, a lot of effort in this project
concentrated on query functionality and even more on
performance. But these are only first steps. To
strengthen this development and to get more
experience in this field Software AG recently joined
several EU research projects which all have a focus on
exploitation of semantic technology with concrete
business cases.
